Come one, come all you Neanderthals! Do you still need help figuring out which sets to check out at Lost Lands? Well look no further, here are a few artists I can’t wait to check out! Luckily there are two massive stages at Lost Lands, Prehistoric Paradox and Cave of Souls; Totaling to a rib-cage rattling 750,000 watts of bass, you need to experience. (Don’t forget they are passing out earplugs at the gate)...

Preparing for this much bass is ultimately impossible. It isn’t a festival anyone is ready for. I, myself am a huge headbanger, and I definitely am not prepared for this weekend to come. WHAT DO YOU EVEN EXPECT? (Hold on while I catch my breath.) This whole festival is going to amazing. There are over 50+ DJ/producers to make this one unforgettable bass festival... 

I've always heard good things about Nocturnal Wonderland but I really had no idea what to expect for my first time. Having never attended an Insomniac Events festival, I felt like a real-life version of Alice stepping into wonderland.

Because this article isn’t about the basics. Let’s talk about the things you’ll want that nobody really tells you about. Some say the smart man learns from his mistakes, but the wise man learns from the smart man’s mistakes.

Imagine Music Festival: a three-day, camping, electronic dance music festival held in Atlanta, GA. This year, the festival is taking place September 22-24, 2017. Last year it moved to a new location, the Atlanta Motor Speedway, where over 25,000 attendees christened the new venue. The festival is aquatic themed (I love me a good theme) and the venue boasts a pool to escape the heat.

About 2 years ago now I first came across Stephanie, @stephxohaven, on Instagram and I started to follow her because I loved everything about her page.  What first caught my attention was how much positivity she spreads and the fact that she seemed like a super down to earth girl.  Once we started following each other, we instantly became internet friends and started to plan when we could meet at an event.

As of October 2^nd, the area known as Thornville in Ohio may very well not exist as it is today; instead it is quite possible as of that day all that remains is a massive crater in the ground with ensuing wreckage comparable to that of the legendary Pompeii disaster; just instead of volcanic ash and city remnants, there will only be shards of broken rails, half torn speakers, and filth-engulfed stage debris.

After last year’s disappointment with the cancellation of EDC Tokyo 2016, the time has come, my ninjas. The coming of EDC to Japan can mark a big introduction of a more electronic dance music culture presence here in Japan. Big news!
